I was guessing since it looks like a paint drawing it may not be technically accurate, but regardless where are you getting 2*x = 3*6 from?

@Blacksteel It is based on the theorem which states: " If two chords intersect inside a circle, then the product of the segments of one chord equals the product of the segments of the other chord." :))
